ConfigMgr SCCM 2012 SP1 Upgrade Known Issues

CM 2012 Service Pack 1 was released and available for download at Microsoft Volume Licensing (MSVL) site. More details here. Unfortunately, loads of people are reporting issues in the forums and through blogs. Microsoft has identified some problems with SP1. More details here.

I thought of listing down the issues which I’ve noticed via some TechNet and blog posts. Also, some issues that I’ve experienced.

1. ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 prerequisite checker will end up with loads of warnings if your primary server is having remote site Systems (MP, DP and SUP) in the different Domain without trust. Warnings will be related BITs, IIS and Server service. You may safely ignore those warnings. These warnings could be because of the account which runs prerequisite checker don’t have proper access on Remote Site System/s.

2. When you upgrade to ConfigMgr SP1, the built-in collections are overwritten in the site database. If you have customized a built-in collection, create a copy of that collection before you upgrade. More details kb/2739984/.

5. It’s recommended to first uninstall the WAIK (Windows Automated Installation Kit) and then Install Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows 8 before installing ConfigMgr 2012 SP1. More details about how to Upgrade SP1 in kb/2801416.

Thank you for all that you share. Another issue we’ve seen is with safe connect executable (sc.exe) getting killed during client installation to use its own sc.exe for software catalog. This is kicking clients off network into network quarantine. Sp1 beta 2012, hopefully fixed with SP1 Final. Well find out next week.

Hi Anoop, your post is really helpful. I am facing another issue in SP1.
After I installed SP1 on CAS server, the custom ports options gets greyed out and i am unable to change. But i am able to change these ports in Primary site but not CAS.
